Someone in EC offered to sell me a high value item for 30k, except when I put the money in the trade window he told me he was logging on Jeremy to give me the item.
Unfortunately for him I know Jeremy fairly well and he was unable to answer a simple question about him.
The name was Xmulex, but that's irrelevant as he'll probably just make a new name. However, if anyone was scammed by this guy I can back you up in any sort of petition.
Also a reminder to never give people plat first until they "log on their char with the item."

Well TMO has stated (and proven) time and time again that they'll do anything to add to their coffers.

Had a guy named Kbank try to do the same with me...said he was logging on to his main, who coincidentally was in my guild(not TMO)....unfortunately for him said guild member was on an alt that i was familiar with.
another thread a few days back had some pics of a guy involved in some scamming named Vbard
ole boy needs to use a different naming convention

Screenie evidence, IP ban the account holder? I don't see why people should be allowed to get away with attempting it.

I had the opposite issue, a lvl 7 sk asked me to do a transfer he switched to his main which was a 40ish shaman, he gave me 15k and 2 bags. i couldnt do the trade because I had already had an fbss on me, he asked if i could give his low lvl char my fbss and hed log on and give me his for me to use.
He was giving me 15k 2 weight resist bags and a fungi to transfer, I figured if he could trust me I could trust him. So we did it i gave the alt the fbss and when he came back on his main to give me the fbss he threw in 1k, I cancelled as i didnt want it buthe refused to give me my fbss without a 1k tip.
Stand up guy.

Happened to me a week or two ago. Guy tried to get me to give him money and said he was my guild leader. I keep hearing stories from people not falling for this but I wonder if this scammer, or set of scammers has actually made any real plat doing this. Total scumbags.

Watch out blueberries. There are crazy people trying to scam you that have the same names as Nihilum members. Twainz is one of them. I hear he took all of Jeremy's gear and 1kpp off of him in EC tunnel last night. Luckily, Zade the Destroyer was there to PK Twainz and Coin him. You should be so lucky to have Zade on your side.

A damn good question, I've been looking all over but can't find whether its part of some mock YouTube video or something else.
I'll continue to change the signature gifs, a "hall of fame" is on my profile page if you've missed some of the better ones :p

I believe that is Tony Jaa from Ong Bak; might be wrong since I haven't watched that movie in some time.
Edit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UDJ75kwGqE <----some scenes from the movie the part in his GIF starts at 1:28; it is a great film that anyone who enjoys martial arts movies should watch.

NPC's should also pickup what they find on the ground. I miss having to worry about Guards stealing my stuff when I'm making my transfers.
